Well no one knows why...for example:

See?

But, I can also admit that there are a significant number of people claiming to be Muslims that believe in using terrorism to advance their cause. If a person commits a terroristic act and is also a Muslim, why is it so hard for you to accept that maybe this person did so in the name of his religion?

If a person commits a crime (was this a terrorist act because it was against soldiers or because he was a Muslim?) if a person commits a crime and they are a Christian and we know nothing else about them does that mean his religion was the cause?

Or can we eliminate that factor because "I can freely admit that most Muslims Christians are peace-loving non-terrorists."?

It may be he was ideologically predisposed to commit this crime. Perhaps his twisted beliefs of his own religion led him to it. If so does that make it worse? Better? Does it matter?
